語法精講

when，while，as都有表示“當……的時候”的意思，引導時間狀語從句，但有所區別。

一、when

when既可以指時間段，也可指時間點；引導的從句中的謂語動詞可以是延續性動詞，也可以是非延續性動詞，并且when可表示“就在那時”。

When she came in， I stopped eating.

她進來時，我停止吃東西。

When I lived in the countryside， I used to carry some water with my father.

我住在農村時，常常和我父親一起擔水。

We were about to leave when he arrived.

我們就要離開，就在那時他到了。

注意：1. 當when引導的時間狀語從句的主語與主句的主語相同，而從句的謂語動詞又是be動詞時，那么從句中的主語和be動詞可以省略。

When （you are） in trouble， you can ask him for help.

當你遭遇麻煩的時候，你可以去向他求助。

2. 當when引導的時間狀語從句的主語與主句的主語相同時，往往還可以用“when + 分詞”的形式替代此時間狀語從句。

When I came into the room （= When coming into the room）， I found my little daughter lying there asleep.

當我進入房間的時候，我發現我的小女兒躺在那兒睡著了。

二、while

它強調主句與從句的動作同時持續地進行，這一用法中while引導的時間狀語從句和主句中的謂語動詞必須都是延續性動詞，或者主句的動作發生在從句動作的進行過程中時，主句中的謂語動詞通常是非延續性動詞。并且while有時還可以表示“然而；雖然；盡管”。

While my wife was reading the newspaper， I was watching TV. 妻子閱讀報紙時，我在看電視。

Her son died while she was still in Paris.

她還在巴黎時，她兒子就去世了。

I like playing football while you like playing basketball. 我喜歡踢足球，而你喜歡打籃球。

While I like the color of the hat， I don’t like its shape.

雖然我喜歡這頂帽子的顏色，但我不喜歡它的形狀。

三、as

表“一邊……，一邊……”，側重表示主句和從句的兩個動作同時發生（包括一個主語同時進行兩個動作），或者一種動作隨著另一種動作的變化而變化。

As we were going out， it began to snow.

當我們出門時，開始下雪了。

You can feel the air moving as your hand waves through it. 當你的手在空氣中揮動的時候，你就能感覺到空氣在流動。

He always jumps as he walks. 他總是邊走邊跳。

過去完成時表示在過去某一時間或動作之前已經發生或完成了的動作或狀態，它表示句子中描述的動作發生在“過去的過去”。

一、基本結構

主語 + had + 過去分詞（done）。

肯定句：主語 + had + 過去分詞+其他。

否定句：主語 + had + not + 過去分詞 + 其他。

一般疑問句：Had + 主語 + 過去分詞 + 其他？

肯定回答：Yes， 主語+had.

否定回答：No， 主語 + had not.

特殊疑問句：特殊疑問詞或詞組 + 一般疑問句 （had + 主語 + 過去分詞 + 其他）？

二、語法判定

1. 由時間狀語來判定

一般來說，各種時態都有特定的時間狀語。與過去完成時連用的時間狀語有：

（1） by + 過去的時間點

I had finished reading the newspaper by ten o’clock last night.

（2） by the end of + 過去的時間點

We had learned more than two thousand and five hundred Chinese words by the end of last term.

（3） before + 過去的時間點

They had planted sixty trees before last Christmas.

2. 由“過去的過去”來判定

過去完成時表示“過去的過去”，是指過去某一動作之前已經發生或完成的動作，即動作有先后關系，動作在前的用過去完成時，在后的用一般過去時。這種用法常出現在：

（1） 賓語從句中

當賓語從句的主句為一般過去時，且從句的動作先于主句的動作發生時，從句要用過去完成時。

She said that she had finished her work before.

（2） 狀語從句中

在時間、條件、原因、方式等狀語從句中，主從句的動作發生有先后關系，動作在前的要用過去完成時，動作在后的要用一般過去時。

After she had finished her work， she went to bed.

注意：（1） before，after引導的時間狀語從句中，由于 before和after本身已經表達了動作的先后關系，若主從句表示的動作緊密相連，則主從句都用一般過去時即可。

After he closed the door， he left the office.

（2） 表示意向的動詞，如wish，hope，expect，think，intend，mean，suppose等，用過去完成時表示“原本……；未能……”。

We had hoped that you would do that， but you didn’t.

3. 根據上、下文來判定

I met Chris in the street yesterday. We hadn’t seen each other since she graduated from our university.
